Day Treatment through the creative arts provides the key learning-experiences of:

Community awareness

Social skills development

Basic living skills

Independent living skills

These experiences enhance social adjustment and
increase social interest, provide participation in community events, stimulate social
and political discussion, and expand leisure time interests. Community Engagement

of these experiences. Through a group discussion format, clients develop and improve
their memory, language, interpersonal and leisure planning skills. Individual choice
is honored whenever possible, utilizing adaptive and often creative communication,
traveling, and social engagement modes.

Socialization and recreation appropriate for those with cognitive impairments.

Daily opportunities are provided to interact with disabled and non-disabled peers and
occur in both structured and unstructured situations. Social modeling between staff,
volunteers and clients are characterized by consistency and clarity of information,
positive caring interactions, appropriateness, and personal choice. Goals include
developing appropriate social behavior, increasing receptive and expressive language
skills, learning social interaction strategies, and refining social self-presentation,
regardless of age or cognitive ability.

Treatment planning and implementation.

Broad-based functional assessments are administered during the first month of attendance
and a general rating level is given in areas such as social responsibility, adaptive
behaviors, employment training, and interpersonal relations, helping to establish initial
objectives and goals. Reviews are performed to determine whether new goal areas need
to be added, changed, or deleted and are conducted by a team typically comprised of the
client, their family members, and professional support staff. During these reviews goals,
objectives and specific treatment plans are agreed upon and then implemented during
the day treatment program. Clients with support of family, friends, and staff determine
whether objectives are being achieved, identify barriers to achievement, and identify how
barriers can be overcome.

Individual and group therapy.

Psychotherapy services are provided or supervised by licensed therapists, for those
who have psychological or emotional issues that may be related to or compounded by
disability. Group therapy gives special consideration to issues regarding interpersonal
relationships between clients, their family and friends. Social issues and interactions
with the community are also addressed. specifically the psychosocial aspects of coping
with a disability when faced with community obstacles. Individual counseling addresses
issues such as depression, anxiety, grief, anger, and trauma. Support, understanding,
information and education for clients are key components for success.

Psychological testing for neurocognitive and functional issues.

At times staff may require greater information about clients in order to clarify or enhance clinical direction. In-depth psychological or neurocognitive testing
with recommendations for formulating treatment plan is available from a licensed
psychologist.

media that incorporates individual clients’ personal interests into work-related skills with
concurrent goals of clarifying the client’s sense of purpose and pursuing meaningful
work. These vocational endeavors are practiced in the community and on-line.
